I've been reading the Free Comic Book Day site over the past couple days. Maybe it's me, but it seems like a perfect time to get back into reading comics. The crap from '98 through '99 seems to have died down and some good books are popping up.

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at the man.

I think there are more and more quality books every year, thanks to the ease of publishing these days. NOW, getting your book seen (or at least in Previews) is a different story.

which one was that? I remember walking to the Fantasy Shop in Maplewood every weekend about 5 or 6 years ago. Maybe even longer than that. Now that I'm old and fat and lazy, I can't imagine doing that.

Hopefully this went well for retailers across the country. I had to miss out since I was in the Grandstand at the Kentucky Derby all day. However, since I already buy around 20 books a month, I'm not the target audience. I hope retailers took advantage of this and made some new customers. Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything about it locally, and I haven't been able to get by my shop to get my books from last week yet, so I'll be interested to hear what they have to say about it.

i lived just outside south county and we had a small shop called Amazon comics. It was within walking distance from my job then and we would go up there on lunch a lot of times. It was nice and convenient.

I am the JOBBER TO THE STARS. You better remember that.

Cardinals 14W 17L (as of 5-5) If we didn't have a Jason for a closer where would we be?

We had a very crowded turnout, but we also had an artist and someone dressed as Batman taking polaroids.

Since I no longer work in retail, I was tired and not use to standing for 8 hours.

There seemed to be a decent amount of people at the Comic Book shop I am now going to. Granted it was only the third week I am back into comics and the second week at this shop, but there was a fairly constant line of people buying things in there.
